(4) YA After her mother's death, trailer-dwelling, average-looking Becky meets iconic fashion designer Tom Kelly, who magically transforms her into Rebecca, the most beautiful woman who ever lived. Becky-as-Rebecca becomes a model, actress, and international woman of mystery, and falls for the prince of England. The humor occasionally feels forced, but the satire's sheer outrageousness--and dependence on profanity--makes it wickedly entertaining.
